Many similar individual-based models are also based on individuals making binary choices [1]}, [2]}. Usually, the voter model [3]} is associated with imitation process, since a randomly chosen individual adopts the behavior of one of its neighbors. In this sense, the TM puts the social pressure in the framework: the adoption or rejection of the behavior by an individual depends on the current level of adoption in its neighborhood [4]}. The majority rule model (MR, see [5]}) is a special case of the TM, since all thresholds are one half (the randomly chosen individual tends to flip if the majority of its neighbors have opposite spin).
